Claiming His Resisting Mate

REESE’S POV

“Azrael?” I gasped at the raging man beside me. His green irises loured at Jamir while Jamir scowled back at him. Both of the men had ‘who will win’ competition before I glowered at them.

“What the hell are you two doing?” I barked angrily. I couldn’t stand their never ending scowls anymore.

“There’s no fucking way you are talking to her alone” Azrael hissed. His eyes weren’t leaving him.

“I didn’t ask you. You are no one to decide for her” Jamir retorted.

“No one?” Azrael smirked, “you don’t even know what I am to her. You better back away before you might regret your actions later”

“Do you think just because you are the beta of the pack, that will make me scared?”

“Okay stop both of you. You both are so unreasonable” I frowned. I gazed at Jamir “I will go with you. You don’t have to argue with him”

“What? You are definitely not” Azrael refused instantly.

“You heard her-”

“Jamir, shut up” I glared at him before forcing my eyes on my mate. He was frowning at me. I stepped closer to him and held his arm gently.

“You don’t have to react that way. It’s just a few words okay?” I whispered softly to him.

“I am still against the idea of you two alone. I fucking don’t like it” he growled lowly.

“You don’t have to get angry. I told you there’s nothing between us. I love you, and you have to remember this. I won’t leave you, I promised you that” I said everything to assure him. I want him to know that there’s no need to fear about me leaving. No matter what I have realized, I could never leave this man again. And his current actions only makes me satisfied in my heart. I must be insane but I just like how he was claiming me as his.

He gave me a disapproving stare. He was still reluctant to agree to the request. If we weren’t in the public I would have kissed him hard.

“You want to go?” He asked me.

I nodded my head. Jamir is not a bad guy. He helped me a lot. And maybe after today I won’t see him anymore. So for the last time, I want to hear what he wants to say. At least considering that friendly relationship we had before.

“Fine, 5 minutes. That’s all I could give you. If you don’t return in 5 minutes then I will come and grab you. I don’t have such patience when it comes to you” Azrael said.

I nodded “got it”. I was about to turn when he grabbed my wrist making me look at him.

“You are not going so easily. I want something to make me wait for 5 minutes”

I frowned “huh? What do you mean by that?”

He smirked “I want a kiss”

My eyes widened. Is this man even real? He wanted me to kiss in front of everyone? I could feel my jaw drop, almost touching the ground. I knew this man was shameless but I never thought his shamelessness would also overpower his possessiveness. What am I going to do with him?

“Are you serious?

“Do I look like I am joking?”

I sighed and mentally shook my head. He won’t be letting me go unless I give him what he wants. I am sure of it. Sighing again I placed my hand on his shoulder supporting myself up on tip-toes. Damn his height, I have to force myself to reach his level. But before I could push myself up more, I felt him grab my waist and pull me up to kiss him. Our lips touched and he kissed me hard much to my protest. I pinched him when he was not letting me go.

I glared at him once he released me with a self-satisfied smile. I hurriedly turned towards Jamir who was looking at me with an unreadable expression.

“I am sorry, let’s go” I tried to force a smile on my embarrassing situation and led him out of the place. Little further from the crowd under the maple tree near the garden area.

“What do you want to say?” I asked him.

“How come you ended up here?” Jamir asked.

“I…”

“Do you want to leave?” His question had me startled.

“What?” I frowned.

“You seem like you are forced to stay here” he shook his head. “If you are forced then as I said before, you don’t have to worry. I will get you out of this place. Besides you and Luna are also sisters so if you want to leave she will help you out. All you need is to ask”

“Jamir you got it wrong” I sighed, “okay I was forced at first, I won’t deny it but now I am staying here willingly. I want to stay here, in this pack with my mate. I can’t leave”

“Mate?” He looked surprised. “That beta is your mate?”

I nodded “yes, he is my mate John Smith”

“I was such a fool” he shook his head groaning. He gave a pained expression “I thought you were stuck here unwillingly but never expected it was coming. I thought you didn’t have a mate 2 years ago” he suddenly let out a chuckle.

“It was because at that time I rejected him. Things were complicated, I can’t explain everything now. You just have to understand that he is my mate and I will be living with him. No one is forcing me here Jamir”

“You have reunited with your rejected mate?”

“It’s because we are fated” I pursed my lips.

He shook his head again “it’s bad luck then” he chuckled at the end. “Since you have a mate, I don’t have anything more to say. I am happy to see you again after all these years. I hope you will be happy with your mate”

I smiled “I am also happy to see you again Jamir. And trust me I am happy here”

He nodded “it’s time to leave now. I am sorry for the trouble I caused earlier” he turned to leave but I stopped him.

“Why were you searching for me?”

He smiled “that doesn’t matter anymore. Just take it as a foolish act. I will leave now or your mate will think I am stealing you away”

I laughed “you really know how to joke huh”. But deep in my heart I know what he said was true.

He shook his “it’s not a joke” his eyes swapped behind me, “especially when your man is just coming right behind you”. His words weren’t finished when I felt presence behind me.

“Times up darling” I heard Azrael’s deep voice. Jamir gave me a knowing look.

“Well, I am heading now. Remember my words Reese” Jamir said as he started to jog.

“What words?” Azrael asked.

Jamir smirked “something that doesn’t involve you”. And before Azrael could say anything he left and joined the crowd again.

“What the hell was he talking about?” Azrael frowned at me.

“Nothing,” I shrugged.

His eyes narrowed towards me “do you want me to force it out darling. Though I like challenges but I guess you won’t like the way I handle things”

I rolled my eyes “can you give up that belligerent mood of yours? You don’t have to hold up such a hostile attitude towards him. He was just teasing and he won’t be bothersome between us” I tugged his arm. “Now let’s go. I still need to say goodbye to Savannah ”

“It’s good he knows his place. I don’t like anyone getting where they shouldn’t be” his comment made me roll my eyes again. I don’t understand how he rejected me at first with such an attitude?

When I reached, Adriana and Savannah were talking.

“I guess I didn’t miss anything” I said as I had a hand in their conversation. Adriana beamed at me.

“Reese, it’s great news. Savannah is inviting us to attend the birthday party of her son”This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Wow, that little guy must be big now,” I smiled.

“He is a naughty man,” Savannah chuckled. “I hope to meet you two in the party and I am telling you in advance I am not gonna take no for an answer. After such a long time I will have my friends joining the celebration”

“Of course, we will come. I also want to visit the Dark Forest. I heard that place is beautiful ” Adriana smiled.

“Silver Shine is more beautiful, Adriana. I fell in love with the lake view and the flower garden of yours. It’s awesome”

“Thanks, looks like my efforts paid off,” Adriana laughed.

“Well, now I feel like I have a family. Living a rogue’s life was not worth” I said looking at them.

“You must be glad you met John that day?” Adriana smirked.

I couldn’t help but chuckle. I let my gaze follow where my mate was talking with other guys. I couldn’t help but feel my heart with love and pride.

“I can’t agree more. I am glad he forcefully took me here or I would have missed everything today” I turned my head to look at them.

Savannah smiled “it’s a time for you to settle down Reese, forget about the past and focus on the present. You deserve love and care and for real this time”

My emotions pricked again hearing her words. How could I misconceive her character in the past? I let my ruined mind think the worse of her. I shook my head.

“Thank you for not being hostile towards me after what I did to you Savannah. I really don’t deserve your forgiveness”

“I have already forgiven you, Resse. At least we can be real sisters this time?”

I laughed and nodded. We hugged each other before she took her leave after making us promise to attend the party. I couldn’t help but feel my heart blasting with exhilaration which I couldn’t express in words. I never had any siblings but today I got one.

For real.
